Liu Shutong, a rising star in digital media, is obsessed with New Year painting restoration and algorithmic art. In an accident, he was sucked into the world of an ancient New Year painting "More Than Years After Years" and discovered that there was a mystery hidden under the gorgeous patterns - the jumping koi carp was actually a sophisticated fishery resource algorithm! Under the guidance of the mysterious mentor Tantai Mingjing, he realized that New Year pictures are not paintings, but ancient programs driven by a "folk narrative engine". With the pen of "Narrative Reconstruction Algorithm" in hand, Liu Shutong solves the mystery of the scientific examination with "Five Sons Enrollment", builds a data barrier with "Peach Talisman" to exorcise evil spirits, and vows to rewrite the destined tragic ending in the New Year paintings. He also wants to weave the scattered folk wisdom into an eternal "traditional folk custom digital archive." This is a wonderful journey in the magnificent world of New Year paintings, using folk customs as the code and narrative as the bridge, awakening the dormant potential and bringing out the new color of the times.
